Not tribal. Don't belong to an identity group. Like to call out bullshit no matter who is saying it.

@owenjonesjourno When you start a war, it probably isn't enough to count on the outrage of western progressive useful idiots to get you out of the subsequent situation you find yourself in.

Israel publicly declared - again - that Gaza will be emptied of Palestinians. Where are the front page headlines? Where are the denunciations from Western politicians? There's none - because it's not the "inflammatory" words of some activist opposed to genocide.

@labourlewis Naked political opportunism. But it won't matter because you will be out at the next election.

Senior figures and members in Reform UK have repeatedly vilified Muslims, pushed Islamophobic tropes, and used Muslim communities as political scapegoats. This isn’t free speech – it’s dangerous and divisive rhetoric. When this behaviour goes unchecked, it doesn’t just poison our politics – it puts Muslim voters at real risk. That’s why I’ve signed a formal complaint to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, alongside Afzal Khan and colleagues, calling for a full investigation into Reform UK, and whether their conduct breaches their legal obligations under the Equality Act not to incite discrimination. No one is above the law. And no community should be targeted for political gain.

@martindvz He sat in an office in Threadneedle Street surrounded by people who did things for him and told him what to think and say. He got let out for a few posh dinners and spoke to similar people who hadn't got a clue.

@mgm5353 @DeborahMeaden @MikeHanlon99 The average GBP to EUR exchange rate 10 year prior to 2016 was 1.24, contrast with the average for the 10 years after, of 1.16. That's a 6% difference. That is not "dramatic" unless you happen to be a hysterical Remainer with a point to prove.

@DeborahMeaden @MikeHanlon99 Remainers always like to say that we were lied to or weren't given enough information about the impact of Brexit. I don't agree this is a valid argument, however, let me turn that on you. Tell us what we would get (or we'd need to put up with) and what it would cost. Only fair.

@RupertLowe10 Banning cousin marriage to protect "British values" is hilarious when you remember it was the favorite pastime of the British Royal Family for centuries. If you actually enforce this, you're going to have to cancel Queen Victoria and half the family tree.

@LeoKearse @DaleVince Yes, “vile dance” is an anagram of “dale vince”. They use exactly the same letters (ignoring spaces and case): •vile dance → A, C, D, E, E, I, L, N, V •dale vince → A, C, D, E, E, I, L, N, V You can rearrange the letters of one to get the other perfectly. Nice spot!

Dale Vince@DaleVince·
Farage is taking political donations into new territory and to new levels. The influence of big money in UK politics can no longer be ignored. Wealthy people, big business, and foreign-linked money are finding new ways into the system - from companies to cryptocurrency. The danger is clear: politicians make decisions based on the interests of their donors, not the country. Rather than play political whack-a-mole trying to close the latest loophole in donations - crypto being the very latest - we should deal with the root problem. A complete ban on political donations is simple, clear and enduring. No donations means no loopholes. And no influence. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

The risk of a trans woman being abused or assaulted in the men’s toilet per visit = extremely high. The risk of a woman being abused or assaulted in the women’s toilet per visit = extremely low.
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Follow the logic. Women are deluded and naive for thinking predatory and violent men can be kept out of women-only spaces. ‘They can rape you anywhere.’ However, trans-identified men can only be safe in women-only spaces, because no abuser would ever follow them in there.

@bitingnewsback @JackWDart They know that they caused it, and they did it intentionally. They had a threefold strategy in doing so. 1. They wanted to provoke the right and frame them as racist. 2. They saw it increasing their voter base. 3. They have a hatred of the nation state and want to destroy it.

Reform UK were rejected by more than 70% of voters yesterday, and the media is treating the result as terminal for Labour while almost entirely ignoring the fact that most people said no to the hatred, the division and the bigotry. That is the actual story.

While Farage pockets millions as a "reward" for Brexit, the rest of us are left with soaring energy bills, political chaos and a broken economy. He only cares about himself and his wealthy donors. It is up to all of us to make sure he never becomes prime minister.

@MrMikeCS @JackWDart I feel it is - although both countries gave awful problems - it’s the perception of those problems from people who attribute them often to the wrong thing that in turn drives them to the far left or far right. Politicians take advantage of the fear.

The Guardian has released a statement after Nigel Farage posted a photo of one of their photographers' press passes, implying that a photojournalist threatened his safety: "The Guardian is concerned by the recent publication on Nigel Farage’s social media pages of the professional credentials of a photographer working on behalf of the Guardian while he was working lawfully in a public space. Holding public figures to account is the role of a free press. "As part of the Guardian’s journalism covering Nigel Farage’s purchase of a £1.4m property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift, a photographer took pictures from a public path and showed his press card when asked to identify himself." theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi…

@timfarron What a stupid straw man. 1. You don't speak for every working class family. 2. You have no idea what they think. 3. Being tolerant of people who, from time to time, say or condone nasty speech is not to accept that it is part of our culture.

It is insulting to every working class family to suggest that it’s somehow part of our culture to be vile, nasty and sexist and that anyone appalled at the Reform candidate in Makerfield’s comments is somekind of middle class pearl clutcher.
